The Galleon Serial Front Panel Data Port XMC is a flexible platform implementing a quad channel VITA 17.1-2003 sFPDP receive and transmit engine for high-performance image processing, SIGINT/COMINT, radar processing, software defined radio, sensor data capture, and more.

The sFPDP XMC has a low power FPGA, with up to four individually configurable sFPDP links, software configurable for 1.0625, 2.125, 2.5, 3.125 and 4.25Gbaud link speed. When multiple boards are to be synchronized, an external 10MHz reference clock source can be used in combination with trigger in/out.

The board may be fitted with standard front panel LC connectors or recessed rugged LC connectors for easy optical cabling in conduction cooled environments with no front panel connections. Alternatively, the high speed serial interfaces can be routed through the P16 rear I/O for backplane communication.

The board is delivered with drivers for Linux and Windows hosts. An optional PCI Express card edge adapter offers easy integration in standard desktop systems for non-rugged applications and SW development.
